POP3.NET

Rodolfo Finochietti — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 20:48:26 GMT

Recently I needed to retrieve messages from POP3 server but I could not find any .NET Open Source library for this task. For this reason I developed my own library (based in the POP3 code used in WCF Mail Transport) and now I share it with the community.

Download the code and a sample of use from here.

Rodolfo Finochietti — Sat, 06 Oct 2007 21:48:07 GMT

Together with Ariel Neisen, Soledad Pano and Federico Garcia I wrote a front page article about Silverlight in this month's number of .CODE magazine.

WCF Mail Transport Channel

Rodolfo Finochietti — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 08:55:29 GMT

Last week I was learned in deep the WCF channel architecture and how to development a custom transport channel. To put in practice these knowledge I had programmed a transport channel that works over POP3 and SMTP protocols.

This channel is based in the soap.smtp channel that Steve Maine write for WCF Beta 2, and is also based in the UDP transport channel that come in Windows SDK.

Here you can download the channel code and a complete sample of use.

Interprocess Event Broker

Rodolfo Finochietti — Wed, 02 May 2007 01:15:16 GMT

Recently I had had to communicate two applications of different tecnologies (.NET and Visual Basic 6) they executes in the same machine. Between all of communications process techniques that exists (Sockets, Named Pipes, Memory-mapped files, etc.) the Windows API functions FindWindow, SendMessage and WM_COPYDATA message was the best option for this scenario. Using these functions and message I programmed two libraries (.NET and COM version) that allow to communicate two or more applications that execute in the same computer using the Observer pattern.

Download the code and a sample of use from here.

Microsoft Live Relay Service

Rodolfo Finochietti — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 12:40:44 GMT

Some days ago Ezequiel Glinsky sended me a link to Microsoft Live Relay Service. From that moment on I fascinated with this new technology that makes possible the communication among Web Services that are behind firewalls or NAT's. It is also very interesting the Mictosoft Live Labs STS, a public Secure Token Service that uses Windows CardSpace.

To get start with this service go to http://relay.labs.live.com/GettingStarted.aspx.
